Inner Forest of the Training Grounds (Open)

Kaito followed Jojo deep into the forest area of the training grounds, an area Kaito had never visited before. The rain still pouring down yet lightened up by the tree cover in this area. Kaito knew this area would be a great area to train in. It was a lot different than normal areas he trained in thanks to the rain, but Kaito knew that he could be in fights that were just like this with in the rain. Kaito was pumped up and ready looking at the area almost memorizing it would seem. Kaito could see that the area was not to dense with trees leaving an opening in the middle of them where more rain would fall through thanks to the fact there were no trees to cover that area. Kaito would continue to look around seeing some large rocks and even boulders scattered through out the area as anyone could tell there had been some intense training in this area over the years.

Kaito would smile and smirk at Jojo finally saying to her, “So this is the area you decided you wanted to train in. Well it looks like a good area to me, what would you like to train?” Kaito would just stand there and smile waiting for her response.

Jojo would smile lightly as she traversed through the woods to the training ground. She had a good idea of what to train so with that being the case her eyes would scan casually over and over to the spots of crannies and others to fully encompass the area. Her site always getting better the more she watched the area, the place itself rumbled under her feet. She smiled lightly as she would consider it quite the wake up call as her training would begin and lightly she would take into full consideration how well it could waken her body up just to do this kind of training. To her, she slid and performed a skating style walk on the mud with the intensifying of the water pressure and the influence of the earth affinity through her as she traversed through the ground with much ease. She had easily spotted what was needed and in doing so she would slide to a stop as she would twirl around and look at Kaito who had kept up as her eyes would lay upon him. He had said something but she had some fun about her way of skating as she would wiggle her bare feet until noticing that she easily would say, "I figure I am gonna learn the earth element, it is gonna be needed later on anyways." And with this said she allowed her foot to press in the dirt with exerted force as a mud slap would fly upwards aimed for the face of Kaito in a very fashionable way.

Kaito watched on, as Jojo would appear to skate around on the mud moving across it easily as if she had a natural affinity to it. It was amazing to watch, as the rain would flow over her as if it was not even touching her to a point as she glided over the mud as though she was moving over like an ice skater on ice. All the sudden she slid to a stop twirling around on it as if a ballerina on stage. Jojo looked straight at Kaito as she would wiggle her bare feet into the mud as if she was a flower digging its roots into the earth. While starring right at Kaito she would reply back to him about how she would like to learn her earth element. Before Kaito could even reply to her Jojo would press her foot into the mud and dirt exerting a large amount of force causing the mud to fly upwards right towards Kaito’s face. Kaito couldn’t believe she would do that so sudden and as he watched her do this and the mud fly up Kaito would use his skills to lean back doing a backhand spring completely avoiding the slab of mud as it would fly right over him. Kaito had to make sure to apply chakra into his hands so that he would balance himself out as if he was on top of water utilizing the water walking technique, but with his hands instead. As Kaito flipped back over he would land perfectly back onto his feet not hit with mud. Kaito then looked at the Jojo with disapproving eyes saying to her, “Hey what was that for. No need to rush into anything.” Kaito would then just shake his head disapproving of her actions not taking his eyes off her though just in case she had some more things planned.

Jojo would smile while she would continue within her ability to perform such theatrics as her own mind played with itself in the aspects of continual assault of the wordings. It always happened to be something that would happily and gently correspond the area. She would smile as she saw the aspect of dodging that Kaito performed. Her own hands would brush along her knees as she would ideally and logically pin point the prospect of the trajectory. It didn't take long for such an event to happen to be with such finesse. She watched that arc of the back and with it she saw the perspective ideal of a grand movement as the mud she flung was pointless to date. Her smile become quite elegant as she heard the small wine as she would say to him, "Well if there isn't anything such as a rush then nothing would be trained and nothing would get done." The air moved slowly and ever eloquently as she had easily said what was needed. Her eyes moving forward she would with ease and the quite accuracy she would also spot the direct appropriated as her voice would ideally stay silent as to what would be needed in the prospect as her feet moved about in their way of ease. She would make this a sparring contest as she would ideally jump off of one piece of the mud and muck only to adjust herself onto the foot holds of the tree behind herself and she had done so by pushing her feet against the earth and propelling herself with it as she did so. An easy effort if one knew how to find it as such. Her feet never straining to get to what she needed as she effectively used the jutsu for tree walking by adjusting the chakra under her so she would properly be able to walk freely. This walk of hers was ever easier to her ability as she would focus the chakra and with the water in the tree she then attached the water to the earth outside the tree to cause the available motion of the earth to web upwards to the proper ideal. She would smile as such and said in an elegant tone, "Would you believe this to be a beauty?" By which she motioned that the webbing mud be the beauty intended.

Kaito watching as Jojo would say a few words intending that her actions were in the best efforts to help Kaito train. Kaito just continued to shake his head thinking that she could have done such a thing in a more proper manner. Kaito not taking his eyes off her watched on as she would jump up onto the tree closet to her and begin to walk on it utilizing one of the most basic techniques the tree climbing. By focusing your chakra correctly you are able to use it to grip the tree and walk up it as if you had no issues. This was impressive since not all genins knew how to do such a thing quite yet. As he watched on Jojo would do something that was even more impressive that he had never actually seen before. She began to focus her chakra and use the nature transformation bye channeling her chakra through the mud that was already surrounding her on the ground. It was quite an impressive display. A mere genin already beginning to learn how to use elemental transformations, it was just impressive.

As she continued to use her nature transformations she would create a web of mud to move upwards saying something about its beauty as she did. Kaito just looked on very much so impressed, but he knew he was there to train. Kaito just smiled not saying anything back to her as he would tense up slightly ready to begin sparring with this girl of many talents it would seem. Kaito then motioned to her that he was ready to begin and could handle whatever she had for him to take on.

Impressions were always what things were and should be about at times. Jojo would happily jump about from the tree now that she had what she needed. She knew, just knew, that any physical fighting would leave her demolished cause after all she had not strength really. So where in she would use what she could as her smile widened and she would jump upwards, feet gripping the above branch, and all the mud web work she had worked with would fling itself like little pellets at Kaito while she herself would happily jump down into the mix with speed alone guiding her. With full eyes guiding and facing forward she would easily heap herself onto the earth as it would split apart in a way allowing her to grip the earth and then jump again into the tree formation on the other side. However, as she had gripped the earth she did something unique and amazing, she had used the earth below and shot a arm of dirt upwards aimed for the face of Kaito. Certainly she wasn't cruel but this was the only way she knew how to train to be precise to the cause.

Her abilities allowed her the proper way of fighting and it was speed matched with stamina. It was the only possible exception to her own mixture of fighting as she would keep ready and steady on a branch, ready for anything and poised in a crouch to attack. The wind itself began picking up and now she worried a little hoping this guy didn't have a wind affinity so that she wouldn't be flung out of the tree by air alone. But that brought an already juicy thought to her as she knew how to deal with that now as she would smile and would happily note that all she had to do was raise a pillar of the mud up to act like a trunk so she may attach to it and then just jump to the next section of trees. This was an awkward style to some, her always jumping itself was one that normally didn't happen much but she was completely fine with it as she knew what to do as she alone allowed the air to pass through the air and the lifting of bubbles of air filled with water along would act like water balloons as they would fling all at Kaito within a matter of seconds, each attack was only an attempt to hit after all.

Kaito watched on as Jojo began to move, jumping from the tree; jumping upwards as she began to smile. Kaito knew this girl was smart and that he needed to react quickly to whatever she might have planned. Kaito watched on as she moved through the air like a bird, like a bird soaring through the sky. Jojo landed on a near by branch and as she did she would utilize her newly founded skills it would seem in Nature Transformation. The web work of mud she had created from before would break apart into many little pieces as if were multiple pellets falling towards Kaito. Jojo along with the pellets would jump towards Kaito using here speed to guide her in the same direction.

Kaito’s first reaction was to immediately move out of the way of the in coming pellets of mud and Kaito would do the easiest thing to avoid them all by just bracing his feet on to the ground digging in a bit using his speed, strength, and his full dexterity for the best mobility he could muster up. Kaito now like a slingshot holding for the perfect moment to evade all the mud pellets at once would release hurling himself backwards with intense speed and momentum. As Kaito was standing there ready to sling back Jojo would land on the earth near by splitting it slightly as she did using her Nature transformation of earth to do so. Utilizing the newly spilt earth Jojo would grip a hold of it and jump back up in to the tree line. The moment she gripped the earth Jojo would do a very unique thing with her nature transformation. Jojo would use the earth below her the moment she touched the earth causing it to shoot up in the shape of an arm now doing shape transformation and Nature transformation as one. Doing such a thing is an amazing sight to see, but Kaito would not be fully paying attention to it for the fact there was a barrage of little mud pellets coming at him. As Kaito began his release of dexterity the hand of mud would be nearly with in range to hit him right in the face. Kaito with intense speed, strength, and dexterity would launch back just in moments before the hand of mud would hit him.

As the hand of mud would just barely miss Kaito the small mud pellets that were originally aimed to hit Kaito would hit and tear the hand of mud apart. Kaito watched on as this would happen realizing he was really lucky he didn’t move to the side, but back instead.

Kaito would slide back on the slippery ground, as the rain would begin to come down even harder than before. Kaito slid to a stop as fast as he could, but no matter what with the slippery ground he had to use the water walking technique to help stop himself from sliding any further back. Even using such a technique was not slowing him down, as he would fly through the raindrops falling all around him. In order to stop himself he had to reach down into the ground gripping the wet earth slowly forcing himself to a dead stop.

As he would stop Kaito would look around keeping an eye on Jojo once again watching on as she would be crouched in attack position ready for Kaito it seemed. Kaito knew he would need to retaliate soon because he couldn’t keep this dodging up for much longer. Kaito begun to feel the wind breeze move across changing the rains direction to a more angled decent than before. Kaito looked deep into Jojo’s eyes seeing the deep seeded fear that she had as the wind would blow even harder. Kaito realized she was nervous of the wind, but it would seem to just be merely the fact that she didn’t want to be blown out of the tree. Kaito wished he knew some wind jutsus or even the wind element at least, but sadly he didn’t.

Kaito would watch air begin to pass through the rain causing the water change in a different way making little bubbles of water as if they were water balloons. Kaito knew she was using her chakra to simulate this effect so it must be some kind of training exercise. So Kaito would decide that he needed to dodge or better yet block each balloon of water. As each water balloon came in close enough range Kaito would move in and either block it or hit it. Kaito would continue these actions until all the water balloons were popped. This exercise was good for Kaito to get this all out and a good training session for him.

Once all the attacks were finished Kaito would ready himself for another set of attacks as the wind would begin to die down once again. As the wind died down the rain would begin to pure down harder Kaito would watch on keeping track of each of Jojo’s moves.

Upon which statements that which were made to the timing of such an exquisite blunder. Jojo smiled lightly to herself as she would then pop her neck as she would then calmly glance about the landing bay of her own mind. She would then gladly make it about her own mind as she kindly kept her mind at the best and most prospective abilities about her own way. Nature Transformations was just the beginning as she would twirl around her footing as she jumped into the air as she kept her available foot holds on the tree as she would jump through them to her best ability hiding within each and every station of her own mindset. Her proper thoughts would continue onward with it.

Her ability would prosper and she would kindly make notice as her past attacks all were thwarted with ease. As it were it had simply been the easy thing as it was she would fulfill what she would need to do and her own life continued on. Her life truly was one like a flower as she made an earthy mud stem as she jumped down to the ground and from that she would feel the earth rise and more than a hundred of these small stems made of earth came true and from these she smiled kindly as she felt the great style of it as the stems all came about and as so she smiled lightly as she knew how to come up with what else was next. It would all come crumbling down, yet at the same time she was elated for such an effect as she would pop her neck effectively and then take a small breather with beads of sweat lining her face. Such moments were hard to come by when it came to her and at the same time it didn't matter as she only giggled at the fact.

Okay Jojo you really need to take it back a little you are using to many abilities and stuff to learn this element. I told Kon not to reply until you edited your final post a bit hes more kind when it comes to rules than me. You do have the water and earth affinity as well as the ability to use flower release, but you are are not trained in any of it and you are trying to train earth not water or flower release. so you need to take that stuff out and remember using such abilities is extremely draining to chakra needs actual jutsus before using. just to let you know.

Now please edit. If you have questions please PM me.

OOC: Post has been edited.

Kaito continued to watch as Jojo jumped down from the tree to the ground floating to the ground like a feather falling to the ground. As she did Jojo would make stems of flowering earth grow from the ground as if freshly blooming flowers. It was truly a site to see as the earthly stems continued to grow. Utilizing nature transformation in such a way must have been very difficult, but as Kaito could see that Jojo finally is able to use earth release on a whole new level. She may not be a master quite yet, but she most definitely is able to utilize the element as hundreds of earthly stems began to rise up all around. Kaito was very impressed by this site as he watched on as the rain continued to fall mixing with the earth turning it to sweet, sweet mud.

The rain would continue to pure down on Kaito and Jojo nearly immersing the area with water even with the trees covering the area. Kaito was completely covered from head to toe in water that had been falling ever since Jojo and him were at the ramen shop.

As the rain continued to fall on them Jojo’s muddy stems would begin to crumble and fall nearly as fast as they were created. Even though this had happened Jojo would smile for some reason seeming as she did what she had set out to do. Kaito relaxed finally as he watched her smile in what she had accomplished and Kaito would smile as well knowing he did what he had wanted to do as well.

Kaito would stop holding his stance looking at Jojo saying to her, “Well looks like you did what you set out to do. Your manipulation of earth is just spot on and your training most diffidently helped me out.” Kaito sighed a bit as he relaxed a bit more not being so tense from the barrage of attacks Jojo was doing. Kaito continued to speak saying to her, “I most say I am not sure how much longer I would have been able to keep that up, maybe we should rest up some before going at it again.” Kaito sighed some more as he completely relaxed up knowing that a good rest would be best for him right now.

Kaito moved in closer to the middle of the area as the rain would pour down on top of him more as he moved in closer to the tree coverage opening. The rain would pour down on top of him covering his body completely now cooling him off from the intense work out he just did with Jojo. Kaito would look up into the sky as the rain fell down upon his face. Kaito closed his eyes as he did before listening to this great intense feeling of the rainfall covering the area touching every part of the world. Kaito knew inside that one day he would like to train this element so pure so refreshing. For now though Kaito needed to rest up before he started to do such a thing again. Kaito sat down on the ground right in the mud not caring how dirty he got looking at Jojo waiting for her reply now.

Kaito felt a bit rude for just going off in his own world once again, but he couldn’t help being who he was so he would just sit there waiting for her response.

Feeling a bit nervous, Katara watches Kaito and Jojo train from behind a tree. 'They are so good' Katara thinks to herself. Wondering if they know she is there, she continues to watch. Suddenly, Katara is filled with a burning desire to show herself, but she is held back by an uncertainty. She is unsure whether they would accept her or not. She wasn't exactly a strong shinobi to begin with, and also, she was from the Mist village. She had just recently moved to the Leaf, after her parents had been murdered. The rain, which has been falling for quite some time now, begins to soak through Katara's clothing. She shivers. 'What do I do? I want to become friends, but will they accept me? I was a Mist ninja after all' Katara finally makes up her mind, she takes a deep breath, and steps forward, exposing her existence.

Kaito looked on and as he did he noticed in the tree line a young girl just standing there watching. Kaito did not know how long she was standing there, but she was obviously soaked to the bone and cold as well as she stood there shivering a bit.

Kaito would smile seeing another new face and glad that there was more people for him to meet. Kaito quickly got up of the ground dripping wet now with mud and rainwater. As the Rain fell Kaito would smile and wave to the girl saying to her, “Hey there, why don’t you come on over we are finished for now.” As he said those few words Kaito signaled to the girl to come on over. Waiting there politely Kaito would smile and hold his hand out openly to welcome her over to him.

Shocked at the reaction from the boy, she stared at him. Suddenly realizing what she was doing she dropped her gaze, blushing.
Cauitously, she walked towards him, making sure no one was going to attack. She wanted to say something but nothing would come out of her mouth.
"Hello." She finally is able to say. "I'm new here. My name is Katara, what is your's?" GAzing at the ground, face burning, she waits for a reply.
"Were you training? I'm a shinobi too. I've been watching,and you are really good. I wish I was strong like that." Waiting for him to speak, she looks up at him and gives him a curious look. 'Is he gonna answer?' Katara thought.

Kaito just smiled at her, as she finally would just stare at him not saying anything at all. The girl just stopped looking shifting her eyes down immediately blushing a bright red, as the rain droplets would roll over her cheeks. Kaito just smiled as she did watching her as she walked on over very slowly and cautiously as if worried Jojo and him were going to start at it again with her in the middle. Kaito just smiled as he watched her walk on up not saying anything for a bit still shy as can be but, finally she came out and said hello as she approached Kaito.

The rain begun to die down a bit, as she would introduce herself and ask for his name. Kaito just smiled as she did being just the shyest little thing he had ever seen blushing even brighter now than before from what he could see. Kaito would nicely say back to her, “Well my name is Kaito Gabriel, but it is polite to look at some one when you introduce yourself." The girl would keep looking down asking Kaito if he was training and that she was a fellow Shinobi. She stated that she had been watching and that he was really good. Kaito just smiled and giggled a little thinking he wasn’t really anything. Sure he may be fast with impressive reflexes, but he was not very strong at all.

Finally the Katara would look up and Kaito was just surprised pausing for a moment looking deep into her large icy blue eyes as if they were solid blue ice crystals in the depths of the iciest mountains. Kaito shocked from her deep blue eyes would just correct himself and reply back to her, “Yeah we were training, but we are taking a bit of a break now since I am a bit tired.” Kaito would just grin a bit more as he would say to her, "Your not from around here are you? You look different from the other villagers, but I like it." Kaito would just continue to smile as he waited for her reply as the rain would finally begin to slow to just a light sprinkle.

Smiling shyly, Katara answered Kaito's question. "You're right. I'm not from here. I'm orriginally from Kirigakure, Hidden mist." Katara flinches, expecting to get hit. Nothing happens. 'He's so nice.' Katara thinks. 'I wonder if he'd be friends with me?' "May I join you?" Katara asks, for it's been a while since she has trained. 'I just hope he doesn't expect much. I'm horrible'. Looking up at the forest canopy, Katara asks "does it always rain here?" Her clothes were soaked, and she was cold. "If you're hungry, I brought food. Would you like some?" Katara asks, bringing out a sandwich and a canteen of water. She holds them out, to see if Kaito would take them.

Jojo had leaned against a tree and was resting promptly due to how much exhaustion she had acquired. She noted the new girl who was here as Jojo would smile and say with a calm reply, probably breaking some ice, "I am Hanakora, Jojo. It is nice to meet you." She held her caring smile steadily as she coughed a bit though when she did cough it was a small bit of blood. It was normal for her to do this though she hid the blood effectively by wiping the ground with the coughed on hand. She would need to remember not to do so much of that in front of these two, they may get worried. "You say you are from the Hidden Mist. What is it like there? Anything different than it is here?" Jojo would ask with a calm wanting of knowledge.

Kaito just smiled as she said that she was originally from the village hidden in the mist. It was most diffidently a surprise some one from there moving here, but no matter what if she was allowed to move here than she was more than welcome to in Kaito’s eyes.

Kaito just continued to smile as Jojo would finally say something introducing herself kind of out of the blue as she leaned against a tree resting up after their brawl. Jojo would cough a little after she spoke wiping whatever it might have been that she coughed out on to the ground.

As Jojo would wipe here hand on the ground Katara would ask nicely if she could join Kaito in some training. Kaito just smiled and replied back to her, “I would love to, but I need to rest up a bit more before going at it again.” As he said that Kaito would smile and sit back down in the mud and just sigh a little in relaxation. As he sat back down Katara looked up in the canopy of the trees and asked him if it had always rained like this here. Kaito just smiled like he had been and replied back to her, “Not really just one of those days that it rains giving a refreshing drink to the world.” Kaito jestered to Katara to come on over and take a seat next to him, as he did she would ask him if he was hungry and if he would like some food to eat. Kaito shook his head no saying to her, “No thank you I ate not to long ago with Jojo over there.” As he finished his sentence Jojo would quickly ask Katara what it was like in the hidden mist village and if there was anything different there.

Kaito just shook his head seeing how interested Jojo was in the fact of where she was from. Kaito himself was more interested in Katara than where she was from so he would ask her, “Would you like to join us in another training session after we rest up a bit and visit the equipment shop because I need to pick up some equipment.” Kaito would just wait until she answered the questions that were thrown at here from all directions from Kaito and Jojo so Kaito new it was best to just wait.

'They are so friendly' Katara thought to herself. Sitting down where Kaito had gestured, Katara answered Jojo's question with contempt, "Yes, it is quite different. It rains a lot, and it's practically surrounded by water. Not to mention the fact it's always foggy" She hated the Mist village. She liked it here in the Leaf, and she never wanted to leave. "I would love to train with you another time, if you want. May I come with you to the equipment store? I haven't seen much of the village" She looks down blushing continuing in a mutter "The rest of the villagers look at me weird, which is why I don't go out often."
Looking up, Katara suddenly starts to cry. "Why are you so nice to me? I'm from the Hidden Mist! Another village! Don't you hate me?!? My sister and I went to several other villages, and they never liked us!" Looking back at the ground, Katara continues to cry, the tears flowing steadily down her face. "Do you want to know why I am here?" Katara asks, looking up at Jojo and Kaito. "Do you want to know why I am not back at the Mist, and here instead?" She waits for them to answer.

Jojo listened intently, a place surrounded by water yet there was always fog. No flowers would grow of the Hanakora in a place like that. Jojo would bow her head lightly and then with a slight struggle she would crawl over in a way and hug the girl with soft arms. Jojo muttered with words of confidence as if she were a mother, "Your reasons to be here are your own, your past is your own. Both of which you will not be judged for while you are here. Even if you are different from others you are still a shinobi of the leaf and that makes no difference of your background. Katara, you are one who has suffered in your life and I see this in you, but you wanna know what you have that some other shinobi don't?"

Jojo would await for that part to sink in. Her comforting words were that of an untold wisdom as it were and she personally loved the ability to care for someone that she barely knew. She hugged this girl and said, "It's courage. Courage to leave a place you find fiendish and search for a new home with your sister. I find that to be a trait that you alone have and others do not. Believe in yourself and you will go miles, disregard the bad and you will gain friends. Learn from the past and you will become stronger in mind and spirit." She would let the hug go to look in the eyes of the girl, "You are you and that is all that matters."

Life as it was, was always something to cherish and she knew the spite for a nation within one's eyes. Such a life as this was one she could always cherish and for that she had done what she could to comfort one who was weakened by her own spirit. Perhaps a friendship could blossom but like a flower the roots will need to strongly hold tight against the wreckage against the world. That was all they needed in this world and for that they would enjoy their lives in the future. She would smile and sit backwards in the mud and rain while her white outfit would now receive the rain while the mud seeped into the dress. She didn't mind though and that was all she needed to perceive in her own mind.

Kaito listened on, as Katara would tell Jojo about where she was from and what it was like there. Kaito just nodded as he listened to here talk about her former village in such a tone that was just as though she hated the place. Katara then went on and asked if she could train with Kaito and Jojo and if she could go with use to the equipment shop. Kaito just smiled as she asked if she could come and saying that she hadn’t seen much of the village yet.

All the sudden though Katara looked down blushing muttering that the rest of the villagers look at her weird and that is why she hadn’t seen much of the village. Kaito would stand up now looking down at her as the sun would finally come out clearing up the sky and shining as if there was a bright new future ahead of them all. Kaito couldn’t believe that him and Jojo actually trained through the night it was mid-morning now.

As Kaito would stand Katara looked up and started to cry. All the sudden she would ask us why we were being so nice to her and why we didn’t hate her. She also told Kaito and Jojo that she had been to other villages, but it seemed they did not accept her and her sister. Kaito just shook his head and started to reply when Jojo came up and hugged her saying some very nice and personal things to her. Kaito couldn’t believe it himself how emotional and loving Jojo was being. Either way though Kaito new he needed to show her that people from the Leaf Village was different from most. Kaito knew that things were getting tense between villages and that conflict was coming up.

Jojo would say to Katara some words filled with emotion and truth letting Katara know that she didn’t care why she came here or what reasons might have been come only with her sister. Just that the past was the past and that it was her own. Kaito would smile at what she said to Katara knowing now was a good time for him to say something as well.

Kaito would take off his jacket lean down and wrap Katara up in it saying to her as he did, “No worries about where you came from or why. You were invited into this place that you can now call your home.” Kaito would stand up looking at Katara smiling even more now. “Even if people may look at you weird it is not because you are bad or anything its just because you are different.” Kaito would say as he held his hand openly gesturing to her that it was time to get up and start our day together. “Besides different can be a great thing look at Jojo here she is different, but in her differences there is beauty just like you.” Kaito just smirked as he finished his sentence being such a charmer, which he was so known for. Kaito would just wait there for Katara and Jojo to get up and get on our way so that they could get on there way to the equipment shop and maybe even stop of at a shop to get an early breakfast and talk for a bit.

Drinking in the words of Kaito and Jojo, Katara's tears dry up. She doesn't understand yet, but she feels as if she has finally found the place where she belongs. The hugs from Jojo had made her feel warm inside, and she felt.....loved. For the first time ever, she felt loved. "Thank-you for the kind words, and the sympathy. I truly love it here." Katara looks around, at Kaito, at Jojo, the trees the sky. "It is just so nice, and peaceful" Suddenly she gives Kaito a hug. Pulling back quickly, Katara blushes like mad, looking down at the ground. Looking up again, Katara asks, "So, when are, uh, we going into town?" She wasn't sure why, but she found being in the presence of these two fellow shinobi. And they called her a LEAF shinobi! She smiles to herself and thinks 'I'm home. I'm finally home."

Jojo would happily smile as she heard the small bit of charm within the flirting voice of Kaito. He seemed young for it yet she would still smile at it. When she was used as an example for Kaito's reflection of beauty she was surprised and blushed at such a thing. She only giggled as she would pop her neck and continue on such antics. She appraised such diligence of the great way words were used. She was glad the tears were dried away as she would happily pop her neck and with another cough she would stand back up as she would sigh lightly. The weight of the training hit her harder than normal. Jojo would then look at the blush as she thought to herself, “Someone might be in love.” Since it was to herself no one heard or nor could anyone tell what she was thinking as she merely giggled at the thought as she would continue on the path of different thought processes.

She would keep to herself in natural order as she would then pop her neck as she walked over to the main place as she would keep to herself while steadily standing up. Damn the disease was getting to her she would tremble once but steadily work her way to the best of work. She would look at Kaito and ask with a calm question about her, “So when do you plan we go to the equipment shop?” Casual question while at the same time it was to the best of processes. She personally had a couple things to get from there while also in need of food later on no doubt. She would steadily keep her mind active though with twirling patterns as she looked at the Katara, “Katara, you are always going to feel welcome here in the Leaf village. I will even welcome you along with Kaito here presence in the Hanakora gardens if you so wish. The place normally doesn’t get visitors outside the family so if you ever need a place to talk or be at peace just come by there.” She made the offer and let it stand elegantly.

Kaito continued to smile at Jojo and Katara as he saw Katara’s tears dry up with the new morning sun. Katara would thank us for what Kaito and Jojo said to her, as she would look at both of them and the area around her. All the sudden after saying how nice it was here Katara hopped on up hugged Kaito out of the blue. Kaito just smiled from her reaction as she quickly let go pulling away blushing a bright red once again. Katara looking at the ground once again for a moment and then looking back up asking when Kaito and Jojo would be going back to town. Kaito would nod, as Jojo would ask the same question as well. Kaito would look at both of them and say, “Well let’s go on ahead and get going.” With a smiles and lightly touching Katara’s shoulder Kaito would wink at her charmingly letting her know to follow. With out another thought Kaito would head on out to the equipment shop ready for both of them to follow.

Seeing the smiles on Kaito and Jojo's faces, Katara's heart, leaps with excitement. She was going to see the village, with this incredibly cute boy. 'Hmmmm.... I wonder if he thinks I'm pretty?' Katara thinks to herself, with a sudden blush on her face. Standing there, with Kaito and Jojo, she felt at peace. When Kaito nodded for them to follow, Katara was so happy. "So, I guess I really am home after all" Katara mutters to herself. Keeping the pace with them she follows the two in front of her, heading towards the village, to the Equipment shop. to home.
